Dnata to expand cargo operations into Germany
Dnata is planning to expand its European footprint with the acquisition of Germany-based Wisskirchen Handling Services (Wisskirchen). Subject to government approval, Dnata’s entry into the German market will further develop its position as a leading global cargo services provider.
Wisskirchen is the exclusive operator of the Cologne Bonn Cargo Centre, a 12,000 sqm facility at Cologne/Bonn Airport (‘CGN’) providing a full range of cargo services with a team of some 180 highly-trained employees.
Wisskirchen handles more than 85,000 t of cargo annually, including general cargo, perishables, pharmaceuticals, dangerous goods, electronics and fast moving consumer goods. CGN is Germany’s third largest airport in terms of cargo operations with significant capacity for further growth. (cj)
